"packages/containers half-filled with stones, sand or whatever else.""I personally know at least 4 businessmen who've been scammed exactly this way."Lol. What??? You know "four separate businessmen" who were delivered "stones and sand" in containers?!?! Four!!!?? From some evil foreign country. Not one. Not two. Not three. Bit four! Lol. Yeah, right! Sweet Mother of God. Are you like 14 years old or something? Do you know how foreign trade works? Ever heard of product inspections, export monitoring, supplier audits.

And by the way, we moved pretty fast from OP is a scammer because he is a newbie to ok, maybe he won't scam you on the first few hundred thousand EUR, but if you send him a million bucks you are screwed. Eyeroll.
Since when is personally knowing
4 businessmen who've been scammed the same way something impossible?
"Not one. Not two. Not three. But four!" Dude, only four. I did not say four hundred.
I think I found articles from the future related to you on the news, can you connect the dots too, mr FAIR TRADER?

Check this science-fiction article out! It's almost as if what I said really does happen - oh, wait..
https://www.ecomcrew.com/how-to-avoid-being-scammed-in-china-the-five-types-of-scams/Now before you start typing bullshit again, no,
nobody has been fucking educated to avoid Chinese scams so there's no point in even trying to tell me how "these scams can be avoided". You know very well how to avoid
and how to
succeed with a scam.
By the way, thanks for quoting me - you just made me pay attention to something very interesting in the last link from ecomcrew!
Most Scams Occur When Sending Money to a Non-Chinese Company or Individual
For the reasons mentioned above, a Chinese company is very rarely going to steal your money. If you are wire transferring money to a company in China, or better yet, paying by PayPal (many Suppliers don’t like PayPal though), you’re almost certainly going to receive your products. Where people get into trouble is that they pay a non-Chinese company/individual (often in Hong Kong) or they send money via Western Union.
Why on earth would someone send money for a “Chinese Supplier” to another country or pay via Western Union? For a couple of reasons. The first is greed and typically occurs when a new importer is trying to import counterfeit goods. (funny huh? Someone trying to do something illegal gets something illegal done to them). Alibaba even warns you when searching for a trademarked name now yet people still try and buy phony goods all the time.
Now let's go back to the OP..
Minimum order = 10,000 (ready to go in 3-4 days)
Price = EUR 1.90 per piece FOB Shenzhen
Expedited air freight: approx. EUR 25 per kilo for shipping to Europe or USA
Yes, I accept BTC also.

I'm Irish. I live in Europe. You'll be given my web site, social media profiles, phone number, etc.
Yeah, you just exposed my real age: 14, dammit.. I thought I could hide it forever but apparently not! Now say "thank you" because I just spent 15 precious minutes of my life just writing this reply for you.
You can just give up now. You're a disgrace not only to all legit sellers but to all of us. This time I'm not saying "escrow or get out". Just GTFO.
